Gays and lesbians were arrested in three separate protests March 18 at the White House and at the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" activists Lt. Dan Choi and Capt. Jim Pietrangelo were arrested after they handcuffed themselves to the fence surrounding the White House. They were charged with failure to obey a lawful order. The two were jailed overnight, pleaded not guilty and face trial April 26.

Also arrested was activist Robin McGehee, who co-organized last year's National Equality March. She was taken into custody after helping Choi and Pietrangelo attach themselves to the fence. McGehee reported via Twitter that she was fined $35.
